Camps 2 and 11 Are Great Safe Camps

Pop Up Camps

If you want a pop-up camp that is generally safe and won't be destroyed, camps 2 (Area 4: Mineral Cave) and 11 (Area 14: Groundwater Vein) are great choices as they're safe camps that will always be available to teleport to.

Camp 7 is a Good General Purpose Camp

Pop Up Camps

For a pop-up camp that is close to multiple important resources and monster spawns, camp 7 (Area 9: Lookout Hill) is another good campsite. It is close to the Windward Plains' large open area, and is the only Insecure campsite in the area, making it last longer than the other nearby camps in Dangerous areas

Not only that, but it is also close to important resources such as mining outcrops, Nightflower Pollen to the east, and Honey to the south.

Camp 12 is Great When Farming Rey Dau and Arkveld

Pop Up Camps

Camp 12 (Area 16: Bone Desert) is a great campsite if you are farming Rey Dau or Arkveld as both of them fly to the nearby Area 17 when they are weak. They also sometimes land in Area 16 before heading to 17.

This makes it the perfect camp for Fast Travel, as this can help you arrive at their resting spots quickly.

Camp 1 for Mandragora Farming

Pop Up Camps

Lastly, there's camp 1 (Area 3: South), which is a great camp for farming the map's two Mandragora spots. Additionally, this camp is also right beside the second Nightflower Pollen source.

Camp 9 (Area 16: Hidden Waterfall) is a great place to teleport if you're in need of some honey instead.

Camp 11 and 12 for Easy Travels

Camps 11 (Area 18: Treetop Hill) and 12(Area 18: West) are also great Pop-Up camps to get up due to their locations being far from the base camp. Having these camps up will allow you to have areas you can fast travel to without spending a long time walking through the forest.

Camp 10 Is Good When Farming Uth Duna

Pop Up Camps

Camp 10 (Area 17: Great Lake Shore) may be an Insecure camp, but it is a very useful one as it is right beside the Great Lake, the area where Uth Duna goes to rest when it becomes weak.

Camp 1 and 5 Are Great Safe Camps

Camp 1 (Area 2: Canyon Divide) and 5 (Area 12: Crimson Rivulet) are two Safe camp locations located near areas that monsters like the Gravios frequent. As such, they make for great permanent fast travel points.

How to Set Up Pop-up Camps

Steps on to Set up Pop-up Camps

Find a Possible Camp Location

Pop-up Camp Map Location

You must first find a possible Pop-up Camp location. These locations are marked on the map by a wooden sign with a tent on it, and are usually located at the edges of the map.

Once you locate a Pop-up Camp location, set a waypoint on it and make your way there on your Seikret.

All Pop-Up Camp Locations

Pop-up Camp Locations Have Butterflies Near Them

Pop-Up Camp Butterfly

You will know that you have arrived in the correct location when you find a group of butterflies flying around the area. Your Camping Kit item will also light up when near a Pop-up Camp location.

Pay the Set Up Price

Pay Set-Up Price

When you arrive at a Pop-up Camp location, use a Camping Kit to establish a Pop-up Camp, which costs Guild Points.

Note that you can only set up a maximum of 5 Pop-up Camps in each locale. You will need to demolish previously built Pop-up Camps if you want to build more.

Pop-up Camp Cost Depends on Safety Level

Safety Level Guild Point Cost
Safe 25 Guild Points
Insecure 50 Guild Points
Dangerous 75 Guild Points

The price to set up a Pop-up Camp varies, depending on the location's safety. More dangerous areas require more Guild Points to establish a Pop-up Camp.

Pop-up Camps Can Get Destroyed

Pop-up Camps Can Get Destroyed

Pop-up Camps have three safety levels: Safe, Insecure, and Dangerous. A Safe camp are unlikely to be attacked, an Insecure camp has a chance to be destroyed, and a Dangerous camp is at high risk of being destroyed.

Title Update 3 changes monster behavior so that they no longer actively seek out Pop-up Camps. This should generally increase the uptime of established Pop-up Camps.

Title Update 3 Release Date

How to Repair Destroyed Pop-up Camps

Pay the Fee at Support Desk

Repair Pop-Up Camp

Pop-up Camps can be repaired quickly by paying Guild Points at the Support Desk or to the Pop-up Camp Meowster. The repair cost is the same as the setup cost.

How to Farm Guild Points

Wait For the Repairs

Waiting for Pop-up Camp Repair

If you don't have the Guild Points to repair a Pop-up Camp, or you want to save up, you can instead wait for the Pop-up Camp to be automatically repaired after a while. This repair is free, but does make the camp unusable for the time being.

Pop-Up Camp Details

Base Camps in the Field

Base Camps in the Open Area

Pop-up Camps contain all of the features that the Base Camp tent has. This includes refilling items, changing your equipment, cooking meals, and more.

You can also fast travel to them, letting hunters traverse the map easily. Take note that monsters can also destroy them, so make sure that it's built out of harm's way!

How to Fast Travel

Maximum of Five Pop-Up Camps

Build Up to Four Pop-Up Camps

While there are several locations to set up pop-up camps, hunters can only have 5 pop-up camps set up!

Take note that monsters can destroy pop-up camps depending on the Safety Level of an area.

Pop-up Camps Are Customizable

Can Be Customized

Hunters can decorate and customize Pop-Up Camps too. Several customization settings are available such as colors and patterns of the camp, several chair types, and even background music that plays when you arrive on that specific camp!

Manage Pop-Up Camps in Base Camp

Manage Pop-Up Camps in Base Camp

Hunters can manage pop-up camps from all locales via the Support Desk Palico, Hazel.

By talking to her, hunters can quickly fix or remove camps to free up Camp Slots, check all camps from other locales, and know the safety level per locale to gauge which camp is prone to being destroyed by monsters.
